Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Burlington, KY.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Burlington who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't feel high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
